Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Sing I Praise

Sing I praise
not for reward
already blessed -- 

but sing I praise
seeking harmony
with God’s best -- 

Sing I praise, voice
of purified stock -- 

a worshiping neighborhood

a divine acoustic, risen flock -- 

As the lord sustains
His creation~ examples:
nurtures daily -- His
abundance of beauty, the world I
tunefully hear enchanted awesomely see – 
Sing I praise, NOT A chorus of doubt 
challenges Christ vibrato in me.  

Loyal to Father in His creation,
to the Son, our sacred Brother -- 
ruling my heart no All-mighty other

Though evil beckons mutes to Silence -- 
While many fallen yet cling to violence -- 
Hear now, my clear voice of spiritual triumph! 
Hear now, my alto victory! – Sing I praise
reclaiming earth for God’s heaven above – Sing I praise
inviting you to robustly choir with transfiguring, eternal love!

DiMino July 24, 2026 at 2:09 PM The one slightly off key is probably my guardian angel. When it comes to angels, best take what one can get:) Thank you, Empress.

Victor Buhagiar July 24, 2026 at 2:16 AM Believers should aim for gratitude before compiling a list of earthly needs. Joseph P. DiMino July 24, 2026 at 6:06 AM Wise words, my friend. The giving of love is the proper asking...Father has already provided for all our other needs. Thank you, Victor.

Gershon Wolf July 21, 2026 at 8:18 PM Keep singing, Joe. Music -- a window to the soul. Joseph P. DiMino July 22, 2026 at 11:20 AM Such a joy to sing. My wife says the angels do not hear my bad notes. Even in the bible, in Psalms singing is celebrated as beautiful soul expression. Rabbis often sing do they not?

Andrea Dietrich July 21, 2026 at 3:03 PM Alto victory. A unique little phrase there . You should call this lyric and use it for the song contest. Maybe you already wrote something else for it? You are very good with this type of writing and theme Joseph P. DiMino July 21, 2026 at 4:02 PM Thank you, Andrea; wonder if this could be put to music? Hmm, very well could I guess. Anyone is welcome.
